Deep Club vinyl records are designed and manufactured in the United States of America. All artwork and design by Christopher Cole, other than DC-01, which was designed by Lauren Mae. All releases were mastered and cut by Occidental Mastering in Denver, Colorado, plated at Mastercraft Metal Finishing, and pressed at Gotta Groove Records.

Deep Club rounds out five years with its fifth addition to the label arm, a split 12-inch EP of raw, unbridled techno. Trespass / Cop Watch reaches outside of Deep Club’s inner circle, enlisting the talents of Grey People, one of the crew’s favorite American techno producers. After posting key releases for Proper Trax, CGI, and Public System Recordings, Grey People released 12-inches for Valcrond Video and Nerang Recordings, as well as a new album with fledgling French label 99cts Rcrds, all while commanding Nashville’s techno underground and helping run the budding TRAM Planet label and party crew. Adding to the fun, Occidental crawls back out of the shadows to contribute two brain-melting tracks to this split twelve.

Occidental starts it off with two not-so-similar versions of “Trespass”. “Trespass (Juss Feel It)” delivers 140 BPM of filthy frequencies straight to the brain stem in just over four minutes. You juss gotta feel it. Next, “Trespass Dat A$$” slows the pace down and turns up the spanking. This one is all about the thick, pulsing kickdrum, lush pads, and deep moans. The flip side belongs to Grey People. “Intercepting Encrypted Messages” channels a repetitive, bloopy synth rhythm and powerful drums before the hi-hats and claps smack the dancefloor. “Cop Watch” draws on Grey People’s Chicago roots for a dynamic and frenetic dance.

Deep Club resident dj and head strobe controller Lone Dancer marks our label’s 4th entry with his first solo 12” on vinyl. After finishing two quality tape albums in 2017 already for Jacktone and Always Human Tapes, “House is a Tunnel” arrives packed with 4 club-ready jagged tekno bangers and one cut for the chillout room. Communication Side: the title track is a sure-fire party starter centered around a thick kickdrum and a repeating synth rhythm laced with weird percussion and synth stabs trickling through the texture. Next, “PO12-3” combines crisp claps, hats, and a central synth theme that calls for an intergalactic rave. “Colony Dwelling” kicks off the Transportation Side, taking our extraterrestrial dancers to a new dimension steeped in fog juice and flangers. “Floor” has a chill intro until it launches into a gritty track that throws broken kickdrums and distorted synths in every direction. Finally, “Night Rain” puts the party to rest utilizing soft pads while hinting at moments from the night before. ​Overall, “House is a Tunnel” is a fitting dance-centric conglomeration of Lone Dancer’s unique style of jacking techno, broken beats, and spaced out tracks that has set him apart in 2017.

On "Already Used to It, Already Used" Bocaj merges his signature moody, groovy production skills and a knack for songwriting for a record who’s meaning extends far beyond the club.

“Empty is a Feeling” evokes deep, somber emotions in its swelling pads that amplifies further when the percussion drops out. Hi-hats and claps build the groove, making it equally fitting for a late morning closer or a mountain drive. “Restart” combines similar feelings with its continuous undulating rhythm and well-placed percussion, but the track nods to a different outcome: a break in the clouds and new adventures. “What’s Your Addiction” takes all of side B for a 10-minute journey across peaks and valleys and eventually, out of this world. Dreamy pads get the track brewing before the vocal sample bubbles up, but things don’t really start moving until several minutes in when the supernova synth propels the song into another dimension. Over the course of another five minutes the mix soars, taking dancers to new heights.

"Already Used to It, Already Used" is a deeply sensual and emotional composition that establishes Bocaj as a force willing to explore such intuition on the dancefloor.

Hot on his heels after a contribution to Deep Club’s debut 12” from last year, one of the crew’s most experienced resident deejays, Occidental, returns for the label’s second release and his first ever solo EP. Pariah Dreams aims squarely at the dancefloor with two all-killer, no-filler 45 RPM cuts. “Let’s Play” on side A is a 9-minute acid house bomb drenched in sweat and other bodily fluids. Porno excerpts ebb and flow throughout the track along with the dynamic hi-hats and bloopy synth theme for just the right amount for foreplay. Sparse acid squelches infiltrate the mix and drive it straight toward dancefloor climax.

“I Have Always” on the flip is the perfect complement to the scorcher on side A, and it still slams at the club. But this club is straight out of a seedy thriller film that is packed with all kinds of freaks. Two words: deep bass. It’s not every bar, but when the descending bassline falls through the texture, it hits with force. Wrap that up with a slew of intricate textures Occidental has crafted — subtle keys, ghastly sounds that eerily appear and vanish, and signature non-linear hi-hats, this tune remains tied to the dancefloor.

Denver-based DIY party crew Deep Club offers up its rst release as a four-track VA sampling of the same name. This limited 12-inch delivers a wide variety of house cuts made for the dance oor.

Deep Clubfeatures three of Deep Club’s core members and one out-of-town favorite. Side A kicks off with Occidental’s “Move U”, a jacking house track that balances dreamy pads, crisp percussion, and a deep, rolling bassline. A ltered vocal sample emerges through the layers and drives the track forward. One of Denver’s newest and most talented hardware acts Falling Into Places turns in a somber yet equally driving tune on A2, “Sound Response”. The dynamic bassline and ethereal keys paired with relentless hats ensures the crowd responds accordingly. With Communikey Festival and Great American Techno Festival bookings in 2014, and now their rst appearance on wax, this duo is moving up fast in the ranks. On the flip, Bocaj, who is half of Falling Into Places, stretches his melodic muscle with “Everything Must Change”. The track’s airy production and clever sampling works on the floor thanks to swung acid stabs and a punchy kick that permeate the persistent vocal. The track keeps moving with big claps and a soothing chord progression that balances perfectly with the proddings from the 303 and the faint crowd noise in the background. Brooklyn-based Justin More rounds out the record with the in- trospective “Feeling”. Centered around an infectious, syncopated synth pattern that gradually builds and pulls back, strong claps and tenacious hats keep it floor-friendly regardless of the time of night.​Just as Deep Club quickly established itself as one of the most passionate and tasteful parties in Colorado, its first vinyl release proves to be of equal quality. Packed with four original house cuts inspired by classic sounds from Chicago to Detroit, DC-01 is a standout debut 12-inch from a hungry group of newcomers.
